One of my goals is to reach less than 10% body fat. I estimate that I’m around 15% now given all the running and exercise I already do.

I’ve always eaten well, and my meal plans are mostly lean and balanced, so rather than adopt a boring, bland, tasteless diet to achieve this goal, I’ve decided to make sacrifices. One sacrifice I made ages ago was removing crisps and butter from my diet. Recently, I’ve also removed sugary and diet fizzy drinks, as well as sausages and bacon (I’ll miss the last two very much!).

Sacrifice something you can live without, not something that you love, enjoy or feel you need. You can always have these foods again as treats or rewards in the future!
